IF you give em up there are thousands who are waiting to get em. One day you wont get the press pass and youll be sitting on a waiting list for who knows how long then.

Kevin, I think you should cancel them. I think a lot of season ticket holders are in the same boat you are. They bought seasons with the 06-07 Stanley Cup dream. 6 years later we just have a lot of unhappy fans at the games. Just move on, no shame. Its not like you can't get seats on stubhub anytime.

All the fair weather fans should give their seats up. Id prefer to have the seats to go to fans who go and cheer regardless of outcome.

I think a huge amount of the Sabres fans own the seats under the wrong pretence. I think a lot of the fans bought in when Kevin did hoping to be a part of something more special. Instead they are just seasons to an average team. You have to take it for what it is. Great time to cancel, full on rebuild. Light a fire under Ted Blacks office chair.

I got Bills seasons this for the first time since 06' or 07'. Not because I expect magic from Doug Marone and EJ Manuel, but because the seat selection is the best its been in my whole adult life. And they are affordable.

If I didn't move, I would never, ever have canceled my season tix. Every time I come home during hockey season, I go to at least one game, if not more. But I love the Sabres, even when mediocre, and I love hockey. Especially live hockey. Nothing beats it, even when the crowd is lame.

Honestly, though, even if I lived in another hockey market, I'd seriously consider getting season tickets if they were available/accessible just for the opportunity to watch live NHL hockey.

I agree. Cancel them. Based on these sh!t blogs, you shouldn't have a press pass either.

I catch a game or two when I come up to Buffalo.
Plus, I go to Prudential center for 2 games, Nassau at least for 1 game!
With having NHL Center Ice, life is good!

Why would you want fans to cheer for a loss or crappy effort?

I'd like to hear fans cheer when they win, or have a chance to win in the 2nd. Let's start there. Baby steps.

Thanks for your opinion. If you actually read the blog though, you would have seen that I have earned my credentials through Sabres Hockey Central.

i remember the last time we had playoffs. we didn't win the cup and what a waste of a season it was. thank got we have such a committed owner now! we could have spent those wasted years suffering to win a cup. I mean look at Detroit they've made the playoffs for 22yrs straight and only won the cup what 4 times in that stretch? 18yrs down the dumper. if they had committed owners they could have missed the playoffs, suffered and won more Stanley cups....good logic darcy and terry. youre so far ahead of the curve it makes me sick!
